アイシールド21 [Eyeshield 21] #12

Volume 12 of *Eyeshield 21* puts the Deimon Devil Bats front and center, with the series' #21-jersied protagonist clutching a football and fixing the viewer with a steely, focused gaze — flanked by fierce-looking teammates in red ready for battle. Artist 村田雄介 brings his sharp, energetic linework to a cover that crackles with competitive tension, perfectly setting the stage for the chapter titled "Devil Bat Ghost." This Jump Comics volume is a great entry point into one of the most spirited American football manga series to come out of the mid-2000s Shueisha lineup.
